Chennai Super Kings to win
Punjab Kings will take on Chennai Super Kings in the 53rd match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala and will start at 3:30 PM IST on May 5.
PBKS defeated CSK in the last game to keep playoff hopes alive. PBKS have four wins in 10 games and their chances of reaching the playoffs hang by a thread. The only way PBKS can reach the playoffs is to win all their remaining games. This will help the team reach 16 points and qualify for the playoffs.
Meanwhile, CSK have five wins and as many defeats in 10 games. CSK chances of reaching the playoffs took a massive blow after a defeat to PBKS. CSK need to win three out of the last four games to qualify. The team desperately need a win against PBKS as they only have one home game left but it against table toppers Rajasthan Royals. It won’t be an easy game thus CSK need to win against PBKS at all costs so that even if they lose against RR, they have a chance of qualifying.
TV channels: In India, PBKS vs CSK match will be available on Star Network. The match will also be available on Sky Sports (UK), Fox Sports (Australia), Sky Sport NZ (New Zealand), SuperSport (South Africa) and Willow TV (USA)
IPL 2024 Live Streaming: PBKS vs CSK fixture will be live-streamed on Jio Cinema in India. In Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal, the matches can be watched live on Yupp TV. Other channels where the match will be streamed live are Willow, Foxtel Go and Kayo.
The captains will opt to chase if they win the toss as defending a score is tough these days with the Impact player rule as captains have the luxury of playing an extra batter.
The surface at HPCA will help the fast bowlers early on. However, it will get better to bat as the game progresses. The pace and bounce will be consistent while fast outfield will ensure value for shots. A score of around 180 should be par here.
The conditions will be pleasant with temperature in early 20s. There is a 20 per cent chance of rain as well in Dharamsala.

PBKS should welcome Shikhar Dhawan for the all-important clash. However, there are speculations that Sam Curran could stay as PBKS captain even if Dhawan returns to the team. Sikandar Raza has left PBKS to lead Zimbabwe in the T20I series against Bangladesh.
Ashutosh Sharma/Prabhsimran Singh, V kaverappa, Rishi Dhawan, Shivam Singh, Prince Choudhary
Ashutosh Sharma or Prabhimran Singh are two likely impact players options. It will depend on match situation who PBKS prefers. If they are chasing a big score, Ashutosh looks a better bet but if the score is not massive and PBKS lose early wicket, Prabhsimran can come in.
PBKS have four wins in 10 games. The team has picked decent form in the last couple of games and beat KKR and CSK. They need to win all their games to stay alive in the tournament.
Jonny Bairstow, Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran (c), Rilee Rossouw, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
Dream11 Captain Options: Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja
Dream11 Vice Captain Options: Jonny Bairstow, Shashank Singh
| Wicket-Keepers | Jonny Bairstow |
|---|---|
| Batters | Daryl Mitchell, Shashank Singh, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rille Rossouw |
| All-Rounders | Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja |
| Bowlers | Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Matheesha Pathirana |
For CSK, Mustafizur Rahman has left for Bangladesh. Also, there is no clear update on Matheesha Pathirana who picked up an injury ahead of the previous game. CSK could replace Richard Gleeson with Pathirana if he is fit. Mitchell Santner can replace Mustafizur Rahman Also, Rachin Ravindra can be used in place of Moeen Ali. Deepak Chahar is also not fit and there is a high chance of him getting replaced by Tushar Deshpande.
Sameer Rizvi, Mitchell Santner, Shaik Rasheed, Mukesh Choudhary, Prashant Solank
Mukesh Choudhary can be used if CSK need a bowler while Shaik Rasheed or Sameer Rizvi could be preferred if the team needs a batter.
CSK have run out of gas in last few games. The team has lost three out of the last four games and find themselves at fifth position in points table.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Mitchell Santner, Matheesha Pathirana/Richard Gleeson
PBKS have been in outrageous form against CSK, with five wins in last five games. This is the joint most number of consecutive wins against CSK alongside MI, who also won five consecutive against CSK.
| Matches Played | PBKS Won | CSK Won | Tie | NR | |

CSK are getting the favourites tag on betting platform. The odds were heavily tilted in favour of CSK but PBKS wins in last two games pulled them back. However, given the experience in CSK camp, they still look a better team.
We suggest backing CSK to win. Despite injuries to key bowlers, CSK have enough quality and depth in batting to fetch a win. Also, PBKS themselves have been ordinary and can be inconsistent at times. If they lose a couple of wickets, PBKS could collapse.
PBKS will back Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow and Shashank Singh to score runs against CSK. Dhawan is an experienced campaigner and would be eyeing a strong return while Bairstow has shown good form in last two innings, scoring 108 and 46. Shashank has been the most consistent PBKS batter.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube and Daryl Mitchell can be backed as top batters. Gaikwad scored 62 in the last game. He also leapfrogged Virat Kohli to bag the Orange Cap, with over 500 runs to his name. Shivam Dube has been outstanding as well, scoring 350 runs. Mitchell scored a fifty against SRH and is a quality batter.
Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh and Harpreet Brar can be backed as top bowlers. Rabada and Arshdeep Singh are the highest wicket-takers for PBKS, with 13 wickets to their names while Harpreet has been very economical and got CSK batters in the tangle in previous game, bowling a spell of 2-17.
CSK's bowling will rest on Matheesha Pathirana, Ravindra Jadeja and Tushar Deshpande. Pathirana and Deshpande did not play the last game but are likely to return. Both are genuine wicket-takers and will have to play a big role in CSK’s quest to stay alive in tournament. Jadeja too needs to find his mojo back as he is a vital cog in CSK’s bowling line-up.
CSK are the favourites to team. The Ruturaj Gaikwad led side has its back against the wall and needs wins in three out of the four games. After losing to same team at home, CSK would come hard at PBKS. They have a few issues in their bowling but the quality of batting makes up for the loopholes. Also, PBKS themselves could blow hot and cold thus CSK are favourites for us.
